upbeat , Apple spokesman aficionado John Gruber talks about four tweets that , according to him , “ may ” indicate an incoming Apple ironware raise , perhaps the introduction of raw Retina Display - level Macs or displays . Given his closely wet human relationship with Apple , you better listen up to his “ aspirant cerebration . ”
The latest update — which was pulled by Cupertino after dreadful constancy report — includes some eminent definition cursors . Here you could see the fresh Mickey Mouse pointing finger picture , redrawn for in high spirits - denseness displays in Mac OS X 10.7.3 , liken to the current one . Other new cursors include the Mickey Mouse grab mitt image and the older Nextstep camera , all of them re - rendered at super - eminent answer .
Fanboy Número Uno thinks that these ikon , coupled by account of some Mac Minis boot into HiDPI mode after the 10.7.3 update , may indicate that “ we may be on the cusp of Apple issue HiDPI Mac displays and/or HiDPI MacBooks . I.e. : retina display Macs . ”
For those new to this company , HiDPI is a new settlement sovereign fashion designed to offer ultra - tart graphic elements without making them flyspeck on the screen . As a covert ’s pixel denseness addition , the element on the screenland become little and lowly using traditional a display mode . you could honor this effect if you have a very high resolving reminder .
With HiDPI thing change : the absolute size of a screenland object is proceed the same no matter how many pixels per inch you have on the screen . If you keep the size of it and increase the phone number of picture element that define the aim , then you make it a good deal sharper but never physically smaller .
McGruber gives a warning : this may be all his wishful mentation , so be skeptical . A little bit . On the interior . [ Matt Gemmell , Cabel Sasser , Cabel Sasser , Dan Wineman , viaDaring Fireball ]
